Why File a Prilosec Lawsuit?

Multiple studies indicate that doctors often overprescribe Prilosec for patients suffering from heartburn. Every year, AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals advertises Prilosec to people struggling with heartburn without providing proper warnings about the severe side effects of using Prilosec.

Several times Public Citizen petitioned the FDA to change the warning labels on all proton pump inhibitors to include some of the dangerous side effects. While the FDA agreed to make some minor changes to the labels, they did not include every side effect Prilosec causes, such as kidney damage.

Medical studies have shown that Prilosec may be responsible for several dangerous side effects, and people who suffered these side effects are filing Prilosec lawsuits because they were not properly warned.

Twice-daily use of a proton pump inhibitor like Prilosec increases chances of developing a chronic kidney disease by 46 percent.

Prilosec and Kidney Disease

According to a study conducted by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, people who have taken Prilosec twice a day increased their chances of developing chronic kidney disease by 46 percent, versus a 15 percent increase in those taking Prilosec once a day.

The American Medical Association found that people who take a proton pump inhibitor such as Prilosec have a 20 to 50 percent higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease compared to those who do not use Prilosec.

Prilosec was already linked to side effects such as kidney injury. However, only recently scientists linked the drug with chronic kidney disease that over time can lead to kidney failure.

Treatment for a kidney injury such as acute interstitial nephritis can be very expensive, often leaving patients in difficult financial situations and under tremendous financial pressure.

A Prilosec lawsuit can seek to recover financial compensation to help with:

Medical expenses

Lost wages

Pain and suffering

Loss of consortium

Emotional distress

Other expenses
